This 8-9 ft man was supposedly found in an ancient burial ground. According to the original 1895 article about it, it was found in a cave with a hood over the head, not a burial mound.

The Scientist who is claimed to have investigated it was Dr Thomas Wilson of the Smithsonian, and there was indeed a Dr Thomas Wislon in the late 1800s who was a chair of the Smithsonian who specialized in native american remains and burial mounds.

There are several sources who make the claim that Wilson purchased it from it’s owners for $8500 while it was on tour in San Diego. Upon further investigation, it was found to be a hoax made of gelatin. (Source)

Did you know that after they switched to blind auditions, major symphony orchestras hired women between 30% to 55% more? Before bringing in “blind auditions” with a screen to conceal the the candidate, women in the top 5 major orchestras made up less than 5% of the musicians performing.

so I believe it was actually more complicated than that, in interesting ways. Because at first, when they did blind auditions, they were STILL hiring more men.

…Then they put down a carpet, so that high heels didn’t clack on the floor,  and BOOM women were suddenly getting hired.

The testers didn’t even know that’s what they were picking up on, which just goes to show how tiny of a cue it takes for misogyny to kick in.

The case of blind auditions for orchestras and how it dramatically changed the gender makeup of orchestras is a very illuminating example of gender bias, and an interesting possible way of countering it.

My 10 grade English teacher was 4ft tall and looked like a Mormon with cardigans and flowery skirts but was completely obsessed with Snoop Dogg. Her class room was filled with his posters and random snoop Dogg stuff.

Love isn’t something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn’t a feeling, it is a practice.

Italian photographer Lorenzo Montezemolo climbed Mt. Tamalpais to capture Marin County, California covered with a river of fog lit by a full moon. He later wrote that he had “compressed 186 seconds of moonlit fog into an instant.”

I know transitioning is expensive af on top of normal life which is expensive af and while clothing isn’t always talked about as a transitioning expense, I actually feel like it’s one of the more important things, especially for guys who have just came out and started dressing more “masculine”. I know starting your wardrobe over is a pain. Groupon is an awesome place to buy cheap clothes if you’re not looking for anything specific

Universities should be free upfront and take 10% of your earnings for the first 10 years of your career. So they would be motivated to teach you useful stuff.

An Open Letter to Reality Number Three

Everything was perfect

My parents had a happy, stable marriage, and I was planned almost down to the day of my arrival. My mother wanted to have her baby in June, so that the joys of birthdays and Christmas would be spread evenly through the year. She was always thinking about what would be best for me.
